And on the other hand, I got an email coupon from Harbor Freight for 20% off anything the other day. Now these are people who will guarantee the online prices for their store merchandise if you bring in the online price. Then they will have a slightly different stock number to avoid honoring that committment.

Now Harbor Freight sells cheap stuff cheap. However, for the basic nosepicker I am, who uses tools little and lightly they are very good. If you're going to use something with which to make a living, go elsewhere.

I trotted in with that coupon and found a solar panel kit which was marked down to next to nothing. They took 20% off of it.

Got another coupon. Purchased an on-sale air conditioning manifold gauge set. They honored it.

I think places which really want the business will behave honorably. What puzzles me is that they have 20% to give away.

And the places like Macy's should know that just pisses people off.
